Subject. The research explores the way of creating an independent interregional financial profile for BRICS+ countries, linked by a single supranational digital currency of central banks. Objectives. The aim is to underpin the realistic existence of alternative model of the supranational financial regulation with its own international currency unit as a factor of independence from the payment and settlement infrastructure of unfriendly countries. Methods. The study employs general scientific methods of systems approach, analogies, historical and logical analysis. Results. The paper justifies the feasibility of the proposed method of creation and sustainable functioning of the supranational currency unit within the BRICS+, which is based on the avowed theoretical elaborations and practical experience of the existing international monetary system (IMS). The findings can be used to design an alternative to the dollar-centric standard model of IMS functioning with its own transcontinental currency. Conclusion. The proposed IMS model will serve as a methodological basis for monetary authorities of countries that seek to develop their financial sovereignty, which enables the sustainable cross-country integration within the BRICS, and strengthens their economic relations with no influence of unfriendly countries.
